Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both acetyl and trifluoroacetamide functional groups, which can enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug candidates. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorinated analogs to improve pharmacokinetic properties such as absorption and half-life.
